Diabetes Services

Almost everyone knows someone who has diabetes. An estimated 23.6 million people in the United States (7.8 percent of the population) have diabetes - a serious, lifelong condition. Of those, 17.9 million have been diagnosed, and 5.7 million have not yet been diagnosed.

The good news is that Agnesian HealthCare’s Diabetes Services can help you take control of your diabetes.

About our staff

Statistics show that the more a person is involved in his or her own care, the fewer complications will occur. Our nationally recognized and certified diabetes self-management education program (through the American Diabetes Association) can help you with the daily management of diabetes.

Our certified diabetes educators (certified with the National Certification Board of Diabetes Educators) work with your healthcare provider to develop your individualized diabetes management plan at sites located in Fond du Lac, Ripon and Waupun.
